AEW Dynamite Fright Night Review 30.10.2025.

Trick Or Treat Tornado Tag Team Match Orange Cassidy And Darby Allin vs Wheeler Yuta And Daniel Garcia.

I liked this. From both teams fighting in the fans, Darby Allin proving once again that he has no back, after taking a coffin drop from the barrier divide. Yuta taking a sick looking table spot. This Match had an unsung hero, and it was Daniel Garcia. Of late I have been reaelly enjoying his work, and it shows just how far he has back into my rotation. He made Darby Allin tempt fate with his skateboard, and this helped blend into the finish, as Yuta was put into the Scorpion Deathlock by Darby for the win. This would lead to a big announcement later on. This was a great opener.

Hook Shows Up.

Hook was seen showing to work wearing a D12 t shirt, and this made me think, oh my tonight is Devils Night isn't it. 2001 what a year for music, first this, and then Slipknot's Iowa. 14 year old me loved this shirt.

The Young Bucks vs FTR vs Jetspeed vs Jurassic Express.

I loved this. The Match was performed at a franetic pace, which is a nice form for a TV Match. The Young Bucks got a special entrance from Don Callis, because he's fed up with how the company are treating them, and we were treated to Cash Wheeler insulting Papa H, and. Jurassic Express, and a glorious man was on Commentary. The Match was a high octane speed fest, that delivered alongside the physicality, and all four teams chemistry. This was the Match of the night. Oh and hello Marshmellow man. FTR got the win.

The Don Callis World Order Summit.

I loved this segment. This was a lazor focused piece of creative. From Don Callis. Rocky Romero. Josh Alexander, and. Kyle Fletcher, all being good talking heads, to the unveiling of Don's new Painting. This whole segment was aimed at the non appearance of Konosuke Takeshita, and the fragmenting relationship between him and Kazuchika Okada, travel issues was the excuse, but he turned up, and  Don told him and Okada, to sort their issues out. Konosuke was willing to shake Okada's hand, but this wasn't recipucated on Okada's end, so Don told to sort it out, because on Collision they will be in a Tag Match together. This was excellent, and that painting of the group looked hideous. This Storyline has found its legs again.

Olympia Is All Elite.

This would be awesome, even as a one off. I have done a lot of reading on Olympia over the past few years, and this would be a great signing. Her Match on Collision should be great. Statlander then challenged Mercedes to come and find her tonight. The pair had a fight later on in the broadcast.

Jon Moxley vs Kyle O'reilly.

I have to say it. I love The Conglomerations entrance theme. It's like the perfect mixture between Melrose Place, and. Beverly Hills 90210. This Match was decent, but it had a bad finish. Both men were counted out, as Kyle had Mox in Guilitine choke on the outside of the ring, but what came next was concerning. The rest of The Deathriders came out, and beat down Kyle, causing his Conglomeration friends to come out, with Darby Allin. Darby promised more punishment, whilst Mark Briscoe got Orange Cassidy to challenge The Deathriders to a mens Blood And Guts Match. I wasn't a fan of this. Let me explain. You've got two concept Matches on the same card, and this means that one of them will suffer under the plunder, because this might be two much for some fans.

Bandido Is A Fanmily Man.

This was really nice, and it made me think. What if I was a Pro Wrestler, and if I took my mum to a show, she would chant the words. Slap the taste out his mouth.

Sisters Of Sin vs Jamie Hayter And Queen Aminata AEW Tag Team Tournament.

I wasn't a big fan of this. The Match felt flat, and it's a real shame, because this had a lot of promise. The sisters got the win, thanks to Thekla, and this allowed Skye Blue to get the win, as she pinned Queen Aminata.

Samoa Joe vs Ricochet vs Hook vs Bobby Lashley.

This was excellent, and a superb Main Event. The Matches within the Match were solid, and executed at a solid rate. Hook had a few moments at the start, in which he was told to slow down, but as soon as he gained some moments of composure, he had a stand out showing. However it was the efforts of the senior vets in the Match, that made this Match special. Joe retained, after he put he put Ricochet in the Clutch for the win. What came afterwards was class. Phantom Of The Schiavone said that the contract signing would happen now, in the style of Halloween. It was at this point that a Cow, a. Chicken. Raw Meat, and. The Ghostbusters Marshmellow, all came out. Joe made Shibata, and. Hobbs take out these costumed clowns out. He cut a scaving promo, and then Tony asked for a toast of beer, but Tony was no where to be seen. The call back to the Ghostbusters spot from four years ago was awesome, and the reveal of Phantom Of The Hangman, was something that threw me, and has left me feeling excited for their Match at Full Gear. Like I said before, this was awesome.

Overview of this weeks AEW Dynamite.

Did I like this weeks show? Yes, but the overshadowing of Dodgy finishes to good Matches, and the confusion that good be looming with two Blood And Guts Matches, has left me feeling a bit uneasy.

This weeks AEW Dynamite is a solid 7/10.
